Grrrrr. myspace just ate my blog again.. so I’ll have to trype.. Not in the mood for it at all…
Well folks.. I’m not 100% sure, but I think I have the flu.. I mean THE flu . It’s been going through our area for the last week. They actually closed the schools in a neighboring town because of it. There asking folks not to come in to the doctor to be checked because it only aids the spread. I’m not completely sure.. but now I think I have all the symptoms. I woke last night with a high fever, chills aches and cough.. and that’s kept up mostly though the day. That said.. I don’t feel any worse than any other flu I’ve had.I’ve heard that the strain we have up here is not so bad. I’ve even heard a few folks say that it’s better to get it now than when it comes back tr. Evidently there’s a prediction that it will come back with a vengeance this winter.
All in all.. I’m feeling only sort of lousy during the day.. We had a bunch of stuff planned for the day.. but I just hung out on the couch for most of the day. Diane took gabe to middlebury for a post season lacrosse tournement.. it’s tomorrow too.. hope I feel up to going.. I also missed hannah b’s graduation party and David K’s barbeque.. It’s ok though.. I don’t feel like moving or talking right now..
I did make pretty good use of the downtime, though. I wrote a ‘how to’ guide for making the kind of Rainbow headbands that I wear to my shows for Instructables.com. Instructables is an awesome website run by a guy I know (Eric W) that is helpign spread the DIY ethos. I decided to put in the hatband because their currently having a contest for the best LED project. Mine won’t likely win, but it’s fun to try…
The cool thing is that the prize is a set of lights made by Xander H. the guy who I told you about a few days back who I helped create the arduino code to drive the light strips
I also finally got around to posting a video of the ‘get more kids interested in engineering‘ talk that I did back on my birthday. I’ve been watching it. It’s weird to watch yourself talk
Yikes.. I’m feeling pretty yucky.. I’ve got to crawl back into bed.. Talk to ya’ll tomorrow.. Gnite folks. Gnite Sam
